正文(英文) | New research on major environmental issues, such as the impact of microplastics in our oceans, the UK potential for geothermal power and mitigating climate change, have been funded under the fourth round of NERC highlight topics. Around £24 million has been split between 14 research projects spanning a wide range of important topics generated by the UK environmental science community. The selection of highlight topic projects is a competitive process to ensure that the most excellent science is funded. From understanding how soil can capture carbon, to investigating the impact of light pollution on coastal creatures, these awards fund research areas essential to help us understand our environment and how we live within it. NERC Associate Director of Research Ned Garnett said:
The highlight topics covered and the projects awarded funding are as follows: Highlight topic - Emerging risks from microplastics in the marine environment
Highlight topic - What is the 4PM? New understanding of soil organic carbon persistence to meet C offset targets
Highlight topic - Policy-relevant climate science to quantify and manage the risk of climate hazards
Highlight topic - Deep subsurface heat as a potential major future energy resource
Highlight topic - Multiphase evolution of volcanic emissions
Highlight topic - Preservation and potential of seafloor mineral resources
Highlight topic - The impact of light pollution on biological processes
Highlight topic - Understanding urban soil properties, functions, and below-ground inter-connections in delivery of ecosystem services
Highlight topic - Impacts of future ship traffic and emission regulations upon gas-phase chemistry, aerosol composition and radiative forcing in the North Atlantic and Arctic atmosphere
Highlight topic - Objective verification of national carbon budgets for assessing climate change mitigation measures
Further informationIone Bingley Notes1. NERC is the UK's main agency for funding and managing research, training and knowledge exchange in the environmental sciences. Our work covers the full range of atmospheric, Earth, biological, terrestrial and aquatic science, from the deep oceans to the upper atmosphere and from the poles to the equator. We coordinate some of the world's most exciting research projects, tackling major environmental issues such as climate change, environmental influences on human health, the genetic make-up of life on Earth, and much more. NERC is part of UK Research & Innovation, a non-departmental public body funded by a grant-in-aid from the UK government. |
